Hi!  I'm Gretchen.  I'm married to an Ironman who is training for his next - Ironman Texas, coming up next month.  We love training together and it often turns into our weekly date time.  We have 3 busy and active boys.  I am finishing up my first year of nursing school.

Back on the wagon today...or the treadmill.  Felt so good to stretch my legs and run again.  56 minutes:  walking, incline and running between 10 min and 9:13 pace.

4 miles of interval work after an hour of hot vinyasa yoga.  I love yoga but I also feel like the more uncoordinated wimp in yoga class.

Gads!  Shin splints.  My 7 miles involved about 4 miles of walking.

Worked on banishing some serious demons today.  Got in the water at Lake Wissota in WI and did some swimming.  It wasn't pretty, but it's a good start!
